Default RC10GT 2.5 Swap

Heres my RC10GT, I traded my airplane for it a few years ago, when I got it, it had a O.S. .12 CV in it. I've done a few things to it now, they only hard thing about the swap was coming up with a way to do the throttle/brake linkage, I tried a few different ways, but it works best this way.

Proline Speed Hawg tires
HPI Star Wheels
MIP CVD's
Aluminum Knuckles
RPM Front A-arms
RPM Rear A-arms

RPM Wide Front Bumper
RPM Receiver Box
RPM Heavy Duty Rod Ends
RPM Delrin Shock Pivot Balls
RPM Bellcrank Center Link
Factory Team Front Carbon Shock Tower
Factory Team Rear Carbon Shock Tower
Associated 2.55 Springs all around

For the motor, I got the 2.5 from a buddy for free.

Your Gt looks cool. Like the rims, sharp. Your buggy looks to clean to go out and drive!

The throttle and brake hook up is kinda how it naturaly wants to be. Just converted a RC10GT to a 2.5 and was amazed, it allmost bolts in!

The exhaust was the hard part, straightened out a new t-maxx 3.3 header and run the pipe out the back between the shock tower and the shock.

If you turn the stock fuel tank and drill new mounting holes, you can use the 2.5 easy-start.

Keep us posted on how your truck runs-drives with the 2.5
